Praxair Employer Reviews

This company was a good start for me to learn the industrial side of the medicdal field.

A company that preaches safety but doesn't back it up. The pay is at the low end of the industry.

Am a hard worker, fill tanks, load them on truck, learn to work alone and use my time wisly

I worked for 1 year for praxair. The Salary was great also the people.
Thank you Praxair!

Hmm let's see.
The management is a joke!
The so called senior workers treat anyone below them as just that!
Have an opinion on how to improve production? Keep it to yourself!
I worked in a winter location, requiring outdoor forklifts, what did we get to work with? Indoor lifts! Absolutely useless in the snow!
Employees like to talk behind your back, – more... like a junior high environment.
Management would constantly tell you one thing and do the opposite.
When you bring your concerns up, safety or otherwise, your basically shunned for doing so.
Great pay, if your willing to sacrifice your dignity, otherwise, stay away!
This place is an accident waiting to happen. – less

I applied to the night shift position, as I was already employed at another job, the night shift seemed ideal.
The first two weeks went well.
Training was a fairly simple process, as anybody can move cylinders from point A to point B.
Within 2 weeks of doing very well, on the night shift, I was moved to the morning shift, against my will.
I expressed – more... to the management my concerns about this, as it would conflict with my other job.
Management assured me I had nothing to worry about.
I was then placed on a 3 week trial period, where once again I was assured a secure position. (management shook my hand on this!)
During those 3 weeks I felt a general sense of disdain from other employees.
I enquired to my manager as to what would happen after the 3 weeks were up.
He said "come in Monday, we'll work something out".
Upon returning from my first break on Monday, I was released, with no explanation as to why.
This is a great job to have one foot out the door!

This all my personal experience and opinion. – less

its ok....but not a lot of future opportunity outside of Houston

Praxair was a very good company to work for until Sept. 11, 2001. After the 911 tragedy, the company started the process of selling our part of their busuness which is the Aviation Component Repair Services.

This is the place where I was given a chance as a new driver. Started off as a temp but finally got hired several months later when the opened the new plant in Pittsburg.

Not much to say other than not really a good company to work for. They say one thing but end up doing something else.

Praxair, Inc. was a great place to learn about the compressed gas distribution industry. There was an abundance of federal, state, and industry regulations and rules to be mindful of while performing my duties. I would deliver liquid CO2 that customers used in the carbonation of various consumer drinks. Our area was large and spread out in two states, – more... Missouri & Illinois, so there were many, many customers to provide with our services. Management would do there best to help us out with solutions to onsite issues, but because of the physical distance some routes were from the plant, it was on us to problem solve and work independently. I learned a great deal working at Praxair. – less

MY WORK CONSISTED OF 8 HOURS AND I MET ONE OF MY CLOSES FRIENDS WHO IM CURRENT STILL IN CONTACT WITH

No complaints good work enviroment. Friendly and helpful co-workers.

No complaints good work enviroment. Friendly and helpful co-workers.

Typical day at work consist of setting up torch and run robot arm to coat parts. Rebuild torches when they are no longer running and clean out the cubicle. Check and make sure the the parts are being coated properly.

There are so many positive things happening at Praxair - in large part because there are so many smart people who work in the field. This is an excellent place to learn the industry.

Culture is ok, management is a joke. Very immature, childish, high school like atmosphere.

I haven't worked there in some time so I feel that a review would be unwarranted.

Great place to work with many opportunities to excell within the company. Very friendly environment and everyone being treated equaly.
